CURRENT BEAUTY FAVOURITES

Day to day, I go about my life completely make-up free. But for the days I do wear makeup, usually Friday and Saturday nights, these are the products that I am constantly reaching for.

Whenever I start a makeup look, I start with brows. I use a mix of the ABH Dip Brow Pomade and ABH Brow Wiz both in the shade chocolate and apply using the ABH number 14 brow brush. Earlier this month, I was digging through my Muji drawers, stumbled across the Brow Wiz and decided to add it back into my brow routine. Why did I ever stop using this product?! God knows but it is back and here to stay. This combo is perfect if like me, you want strongly defined brows. So you know when you order off the Urban Decay website and you get the option to pick a free sample? I always hear people raving about their eyeshadow primer so I thought what better opportunity to give it a try. My order arrived and this sample went straight to the back of my Muji drawers. For NYE, I wanted my eyeshadow to stay in place and so I gave this a try and wow, just wow. It has a similar texture to the Nivea post-shaving balm and once you put eyeshadow on top of it, it does not budge. Being a WOC, finding a highlighter that compliments my skin tone and does not look ashy is the ultimate struggle. The struggle is no more since discovering the Betty-Lou Manizer. If you are someone who likes a warm-toned, gold coppery highlight, this ones for you!And lastly, everyone's holy grail product for a night out, the Urban Decay all nighter setting spray. This stuff is amazing and does exactly what it says on the tin, keeps your makeup looking flawless all night.
